There's no slow start for the Oakland Raiders in 2011. The first game on their schedule is a big one, the second leg of a Monday night doubleheader in Denver. They have a game they should win after that, but the back to back games against the Jets and Patriots in Weeks 3 and 4 are potentially brutal. The Raiders looked to start ascending out of obscurity last year, but can they continue their upward trend?
